    Is there an option to run this tour as a private tour?
  • 

    Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written July 2026

    Most of our guides are actually male, once we have a date I am happy to check what guide is selected for you.
  • 

    Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written July 2026

    We use a mixture of hotels and also some guesthouses, we could change these all to 4 start hotels, however for instance in Doolin there are very few option available, But once we have a date I can check this for you and get back with pricing.
  • 

    Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written July 2026

    Yes we can make this tour private for you and once we have a date we can provide costing for you. Although many of our guests like the group dynamic as well.

    We aren't crazy about being in a vehicle with a dozen or more strangers we haven't chosen to spend a great deal of time with. It would be nice if we actually liked the people but are unwilling to run the risk of being stuck with people we don't like for the whole trip. We once had a not so great experience in a 12-person 2-week tour which soured us on that concept.

    We love cities but also want to be in the countryside part of the time where we might be able to interact with sheep, dogs, cows, and all manner of animals. We'd also like very much want to enjoy some live Irish music, theatre or festivals.

    We'd rather DO things than just go sightseeing, though some sightseeing will be fine. I should also mention that I suffer from intermittent back pain, so I need to moderate the amount of walking I do, and walking hills or stairs are more of a challenge for me than walking on flat, even surfaces.

    We create thoughtfully designed journeys across Ireland, from small-group tours to private guided experiences and self-drive itineraries. Everything we do is about going beyond the guidebook, with personal touches, wonderful local experiences and the reassurance of a team that genuinely cares, something our many 5-star reviews reflect. I can see you are interested in our private tours, which are a lovely option if you would like a more exclusive, flexible experience with your own expert guide, tailored around your interests and pace.

    Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written July 2026

    As private tour pricing is largely based on how many people in the group, how many people would you be travelling with? Just a quick note, private guided tours for fewer than four people typically start at around €1,000 per person, per day.

    Traveler•Written July 2026

    Approximately what would the per person cost be for a private tour like the one I described earlier for 6 people?
  • 

    Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written July 2026

    As a guide, a 10-day private tour for a group of 6 would be approximately €5,000 per person next year. This would include carefully selected accommodation with breakfast each morning, along with your own dedicated local driver-guide who will take care of all the logistics and ensure your trip is truly unforgettable. A great advantage of a private tour is that we can create a completely bespoke itinerary for you and your friends, tailored to your interests, travel style and the places you'd most like to experience. Whether you're looking for iconic highlights, hidden gems, great food, hiking, or unique local experiences, we'll design an itinerary that's perfect for your group.

    What are the least-rainy months to visit Ireland? Is there a hot, muggy season to avoid?

    How long in advance should one book a tour?
  • 

    Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written July 2026

    Ireland doesn't really have a "dry season." Our weather can be quite unpredictable, so it's always a good idea to pack for a mix of sunshine and showers! If you're looking for the best chance of pleasant weather, I'd recommend visiting between May and September. May and June are particularly lovely, while July and August are our warmest months. The good news is that Ireland rarely gets uncomfortably hot or muggy, making it a great place to explore throughout the summer.
  • 

    Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written July 2026

    For booking, I would recommend reserving your tour at least 6 months in advance, especially if you're planning to travel during the summer. Accommodation in Ireland fills up quickly, and booking early gives you the best choice of dates and hotels.

  I would like to take my cousin on this tour. She is 83 and not disabled but slow. What activity level is this and would it be a problem. I know golf carts are available at Cliffs of Moher but I'm not sure about other challenging areas.

  • 

    Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written March 2026

    The Ultimate would be too active for your cousin as there is a lot of walking on this tour and a lot of activities such as Carrick a read rope bridge which may not be suitable. Also there are several castle visits included so again, lots of walking and 2 walking tours, one in Galway and one in Derry. I think a better option would be our more relaxed tours such as our 8 Day Emerald Explorer tour or our 6 day Magical Southern Tour.

    Traveler•Written March 2026

    I looked at the 8 day Emerald and it seems to do the castles and similar sites as the ultimate. The ultimate says it's a relaxed tour. Is there significant difference?
  • 

    Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written March 2026

    Both of these are relaxed tours. We have active tours as well which have kayaking, hiking and cycling. The pace of the Ultimate tour is a little faster compared to the Emerald Explorer, which has two two night stays so this makes the tour slightly slower while you cover the full Island of Ireland on your Ultimate tour. Both are have small groups, both have excellent reviews and on both you will have a great time.
  • 

    Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written March 2026

    Our Emerald tour is the best option and there are alternatives to the castle. For instance you could do a horse and cart through Killarney National Park (optional) but that is something that is a nice and gentle experience. The farm visit could be a little bit much of a walk, but they have a Landrover that follows the tour which means walking is optional and you get the same experience.

  Asked on March 11th, 2026

  Would your tour be appropriate for someone with MS and some problems with extended walking, and someone with an artificial leg who occasionally experiences some limitations? Is it easy to get on and off the bus? Can they get ground floor accommodations in most locations? Do you provide assistance in getting their luggage on and off? I see that Dublin sites are not included. Do you have other add-ons for extended stays and tours in Dublin?

    Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written March 2026

    The Ultimate tour is part of our relaxed tours, so none of the activities and walks are really long and should be suitable for most people. With regards to the bus if we know that there are issues we just make sure we have an additional step, this is no issue at all and just makes getting in and out of the bus really easy. With regards to the accommodations most places have a lift and for the other places we will do our best to make sure they have ground floor bedrooms. For the Dublin accommodations we leave from the Ashling hotel and this can be booked online but Dublin is also a compact city which means most other hotels are only a short Taxi away from the departure location so that works for most people as well. With regards to the luggage the guide can help with this as long as we know this before the tour starts.

  how difficult is it to get vegan food at the breakfasts? at lunch restaurants on the tour.... and is it easy to find vegan for dinner? vegan is no animal, no fish, no cheese, no butter, no milk

  Meals
  • 

    Overland - Small Group ToursOperator•Written March 2026

    Vegan dietary requirements are actually quite easy to accommodate in Ireland now and we regularly welcome guests with vegan diets on our tours. At breakfast, most of the hotels we use offer options such as fruit, cereals, breads, plant based milks, and other suitable items. Many hotels are also very used to catering for vegan guests if they are informed in advance.
    For lunch stops during the tour, our driver guide can recommend restaurants and cafés that offer a variety of options and it is usually very easy to find vegan friendly dishes.
    For dinner, Ireland has become much more vegan friendly in recent years, particularly in the towns and cities we visit. There are typically several restaurants to choose from and vegan options are widely available.
    Once your booking is confirmed, we simply note your dietary requirements and make sure our expert driver guide and accommodation partners are aware so they can assist you throughout the trip.

    There is no walking tour in Belfast but instead we offer some free time. This was always a request from our guests to have some free time in Belfast, either to relax while other explore the city or do a black cab tour. There are plenty of walking tours and your guide can help you arrange these for you. With regards to Dublin, we leave the city straight away, Dublin is what most of our guests explore the day before, its a compact city that is easy to navigate so people do not need us.
